- Fret Size
- The frets are Nickel and are wide, medium height, with a flattened pyramid shape. Nickel preferred over steel as it has a slightly sweeter tone and the medium profile ensures you’re hearing more of the fingerboard while also not pushing the note out of tune…like some taller fretwire.
- Nut

- Neck Construction
- 3 Pc Quater-Sawn Maple
- Neck Carve
- Modern shape….slightly thin to medium with an asymmetrical carve where the treble side carve is a little more aggressive from the centre of the neck to the fingerboard edge. This makes for a faster feel while still keeping thick enough for comfort to avoid premature hand cramping

- Pickup Modes (Switches)
- Single-Coil (middle toggle position): Of all the modes, this produces the brightest and most open tone with the quickest attack. In comparison to the standard BN series, these singles are a little more lean and a touch warmer. Series Humbucking (down toggle position): Produces the highest output and a much thicker, darker, and more compressed tone. Parallel Humbucking (up toggle position): Produces a slightly thicker tone than the articulate single-coil mode without any of the 60 cycle hum.
- Controls
- First Row: Neck Volume, Bridge Volume (push for single-coil, pull for hum-cancelling), Master Tone (push for active, pull for passive) Second Row: Bass Boost, Mid Boost, Treble Boost 2x Three-way toggle switches to select the pickup mode for the neck and bridge pickups
